Well, they would be (in theory) indistinguishable from the physical person. You’d be able to interact with them, and their thoughts, feelings, memories etc would all still be there. In many ways the “soul” is still there. Obviously this is very much a matter of opinion.

You might choose to give it the original's property, on the assumption that the original would have wanted that, or on the basis of a written will that actually says so. Then, the copy could carry on as if it were the original. And, in fact, we do that continuously. Every day you wake up believing yourself to be the person who went to bed the night before. It is close enough.
